Once Su Zhe and the others jumped onto its back, the giant dragon flapped its wings and plunged into the clouds.

...

Meanwhile, the expeditionary force led by Archie had just passed through Wolf Territory and was heading towards the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Fearing that this would alert the wolf king who lived there, Archie ordered his men to proceed along Cider Lake.

At this moment.

A member of the Knights approached Archie and asked in a low voice, "Lord Archie, why are there suddenly so many members of the Fools?"

The knight glanced back casually. The group had been slowly gathering, but thanks to Archie's prior instructions, no one had stopped them.

But he knew in his heart that the current size of the Fools' fighting force far exceeded the number of personnel registered in the diplomatic mission, which clearly indicated one thing.

“Lance, they are all my helpers who I invited to deal with the Wind Demon Dragon.”

"But sir, with so many fools, what will happen then..."

“Alright, Lance, just do your job, understand?” Archie said in a deep voice. “You didn’t see anything, and you don’t need to worry about anything. After this is over, I will leave the position of Inspector General to you.”

Lance Blackmer, a nobleman, holds the position of Deputy Inspector. He was personally promoted by Grand Master Falgar and is one of the few people in the Inspectorate who are not controlled by Archie.

When Grand Master Falgar led his men on an expedition, he entrusted him with full support in assisting Qin's work.

This time, it was also due to Jean's insistence that Archie had no choice but to bring him along.

"Lord Archie, you..."

Lance was stunned.

Even if he were stupid, he could tell what Archie was trying to do.

By using the Fatui to defeat the Wind Dragon and claiming the credit for himself, Archie will be hailed as the 'Dragon Slayer' and 'the one who solved the dragon plague' throughout Mondstadt. With his many years of influence in Mondstadt, it's not impossible for him to rise to the position of Guild Leader.

“Lance, think about your family, think about your lineage. They need you to produce results, not to stay in the position of deputy inspector general for the rest of your life.”

Archie said calmly.

“What’s so good about following Jean and Falgar? They’re all stubborn and hypocritical guys who think they can protect Mondstadt with just passion and loyalty? And look at Mondstadt now! Look how bad it is!”

"The Wind God is unwilling to manage affairs. What does Mondstadt have left among the Seven Kingdoms besides so-called freedom? There is nothing in commerce, trade, or industry. Liyue and Winterfell are both stronger than us. Aren't they more desirable than us?"

"Lance, Mondstadt's progress has stagnated for centuries. It's time to move forward, and I, Archie Kreid, will lead the people of Mondstadt to go even further!"

Chapter 14 The Roaring Dragon, Kyogre vs. Lady! >>

When the people of Teyvat talk about Mondstadt, they never think of prosperity and power, but rather of things like freedom, poetry, and fine wine.

These things may be wonderful, but they cannot be effective weapons to protect a country.

If it weren't for the reputation of being the Wind God, Mondstadt would probably be exploited by other nations and unable to hold its head high by now.

Even so, Fengshen has not appeared for thousands of years. During these thousands of years of development, he has been tested and exploited little by little by other countries. Now he has fallen so low that he can be pressured by a mere diplomatic delegation.

Mondstadt's own dragon plague is being pressured by the Winterborn Kingdom. What kind of logic is that?

But there's nothing we can do; might makes right.

“We can no longer cling to those outdated and antiquated ideas. Mondstadt needs change and development. Lance, you are a smart man, you should know how to choose!”

Archie's eyes gleamed with excitement, even madness.

"I..."

"Alright, this time you just need to watch quietly, and leave the rest to the Fools."

Archie smiled faintly.

Fools want to use him, but isn't he doing the same thing?

Since none of you are afraid of death, then die for my success.

Once he becomes the leader, he can guide the people of Mondstadt and then find some excuse to kick these annoying guys out.

Colluding with fools?

Oh.

Who believes the words of fools?

...

"Madam, our people have almost all gathered here."

At the back of the group, the woman remained hidden in the crowd, not revealing her identity.

One of her subordinates came over to report the situation to her.

Along the way, the woman had almost gathered all the combat personnel hidden in various strongholds, after all, she was facing Dvalin, the Chosen of God, who should not be underestimated.

Moreover, killing the Wind Dragon is only the surface objective; the real task is to lure out the Wind God and steal the Heart of the God.

"Go tell Archie to keep a close eye on his men. We'll leave once this is over. Tell him not to get any funny ideas."

"Yes."

The subordinate immediately went to find Archie.

The exchange between the two sides went largely unnoticed by the silently advancing group.

It was as if everyone had already accepted this, except for Lance, who had just finished talking with Archie. But at this moment, the young man's mind was filled with the words Archie had said.

For a Knight of Favonius, protecting Mondstadt and its people is their duty.

But when they discover that the path they've chosen might be wrong, they can't help but wonder, "What if... what if..."

Human nature is not necessarily evil; kind people can also do bad things. Just like those who play the villain, they all firmly believe that their goal is right.

Splash!

Just then, a huge wave suddenly surged up on the surface of the fruit wine lake.

Before anyone could react, the giant wave crashed down on them!

The powerful impact shattered the entire team's formation, and amidst the chaos, gasps of surprise and disbelief could be heard.

"What's going on!?"

"Captain Archie, it's a giant beast!!!"

Roar!

Amidst the giant waves, Georka's massive body burst forth from the Cider Lake, riding the waves as it approached. Its nearly 26-meter-tall form blocked out the light from the sky, rapidly drawing closer as its reflection appeared in everyone's eyes.

In an instant, astonishment turned into fear!

"It's a sea monster from Fruit Wine Lake!!"

Although Kyogre disappeared for a month, his several appearances at Cider Lake left a deep impression on everyone. Everyone knew that a giant beast was hiding in Cider Lake, but according to the message issued by Jean, the giant beast had a friendly relationship with Mondstadt.

But that's it?

Where is the friendliness?!

There was no time to think about why the beast had grown even bigger, or why it had suddenly attacked. Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the beast swung its tail fin and slammed down into the crowd of fools!

Boom! —

The fools, already submerged by the flood, slammed down, shaking the ground and sending water splashing outwards!

Even though the Fatui are quite powerful, they were caught off guard and had no power to protect them. Their physical strength was also insufficient to withstand the terrifying damage from Kyogre's Water Tail.

"asshole!"

Amidst the crowd, the woman's gaze turned cold as she watched the giant beast suddenly charge out.

In fact, she had been searching for Su Zhe's whereabouts all this time.

To avoid any accidents during the process of seizing the Heart of God, and also to use Su Zhe to test the Wind God's attitude and see if he was indeed the so-called new Wind God's familiar.

If so, then she doesn't need to go looking for that crazed dragon at all.

Unfortunately, Su Zhe went straight to the Temple of Time during that time, leaving the lady with nothing.

Now that Su Zhe has shown himself, her murderous intent has been ignited, and she immediately ordered the Fools to launch a counterattack.

The people she brought were all elite combatants. In addition to vanguard members like Musketeer, Ice Fat, and Thunder Hammer, there were also debt collectors and Firefly sorcerers, who possessed the power of the Evil Eye.

At that moment, at a command, elemental weapons launched an attack on Su Zhe.

wow~

A wall of water was lifted by Su Zhe, blocking all the attacks.

Kyogre is the god of the sea, and although the crystal within him can also use other elemental powers, the power of water is undoubtedly the strongest.

As long as he is in the water, Su Zhe can greatly increase his strength by relying on Kyogre's body!

Standing atop the giant wave, he flapped his pectoral fins, and in an instant, the water in the Fruit Wine Lake seemed to be summoned, transforming into tornadoes that lashed out.

With the help of telekinesis, Su Zhe's ability to control water has also been significantly enhanced.

Boom~~

The waterspout crashed down, its powerful impact knocking the Fools to the ground. Then, the power of frost was released, spreading along the water flow and freezing everything covered by the lake!

Roar! ! !

The giant beast roared, and its tail fin slammed down again!

"Don't think about it!"

The woman's gaze sharpened, and she unleashed a terrifying frost power.

"Fall into the abyss!"

Instead of defending against Su Zhe's attack, she conjured a giant ice sword and thrust it out.

The ice sword collided with the tail fin in mid-air, and in an instant, the surging ice elemental power exploded, turning into countless ice shards that scattered like a torrential snowstorm, obscuring all vision!

"Wow, that's impressive."

Feeling a stinging sensation on his tail fin, Su Zhe clicked his tongue in amazement.

Although he didn't particularly like the woman, he had to admit that she was very capable.

This is only under the state of ice elemental power. If the ice layer is unsealed and the most primal endless fire is released, the combat power will be even higher.
